A respiratory allergy is the result of a malfunction of the immune system that causes the body to react abnormally in contact with allergens (harmless substances transported by air). The main respiratory allergens are house dust mites, pollen, animal hair and mold. When inhaled can induce inflammatory reactions in the nose, eyes, throat and bronchi, which is known as "rhinitis" and / or "allergic asthma." Respiratory allergy is a disease that can get worse over time and cause complications.
